Welcome to The Sanctuary Beach Side, your charming guesthouse nestled in the heart of Timaru's Maori Hill. Imagine waking up and being just a stone's throw from the beautiful coastline – that's the reality here.

We're perfectly situated, putting you within a 10-minute stroll of the delightful Ashbury Park and the impressive Aigantighe Art Gallery.
